Outcome: Initial Outcome

In our increasingly interconnected world, young people must acquire the knowledge and skills to engage effectively. Local economies now rely more than ever on international resources, and those who thrive in this interconnected economy are adaptable individuals who embrace multiculturalism. Passport Kitchen is a program designed to help young people take their first steps in developing these skills. It not only promotes family mealtime but also fosters life readiness skills. By collaboratively working with individuals from 15 different countries, educational packets were created to explore culture through an interest in foods. Seven young people in Warren County participated this year, learning about the following countries  Ireland, Nigeria, Poland, Japan, & Ojibwe.  After completing the program, 78% of youth reported participating in a multigenerational format, 65% demonstrated a skill they had learned, and 89% could identify positive aspects of cultures beyond their own.
